nxs Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 How strange. Just a little over a year ago my wife and I went to Academy and bought a Sig .380 ( P-238). We both looked at it and I gave it to her to see if it fit her hand ok. I had been in there a time or two looking but no one said a word. Only thing was they took it to check out when we got ready to leave and gave it to us at the door.
MOPanfisher Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Yeah, they carried R15 to the front as well, I tried to get them to carry it all they way to the car but they declined. If I ever get around to buying the pistol I want there I will report how it goes.
jdmidwest Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 The person filling out the form 4473 has to answer the first question, Are you purchasing the gun for yourself? That is all the seller really has to be concerned about. The seller should not prevent anyone from helping make a choice on a gun, not the sellers job. If the seller has some reason of doubt that the purchaser is buying for another person, it is the seller's right to decline the sale. I have done that in the past, I turned away a husband and wife team. The husband had tried to purchase the day prior and when the background check declined him, he bluntly stated "Must be that exparte order against me". When he returned with his wife later and attempted to buy again, both were asked to leave. I have only purchased one firearm at a big box store, and it was a nightmare of a transaction. It was at Cabela's and it was a rifle on sale. At any other gunshop, it would have been a 10 minute transaction with a quick check. Cabelas has some kind of goofy database they check first before they let you start the yellow form on an I Pad. Some chick with a name nothing like mine who lived in a different state with an address that matched my 3 digit street address but not the street name caused me to get flagged. After 20 minutes and a couple of managers involved to get over that, I filled out the yellow form 4473 on the Ipad and then went thru the standard NICS check. Then I waited in line to pay for it. Then I waited 10 minutes for the walk out. Over an hour to purchase a rifle and I was one of 2 customers at the gun counter. Never, ever, whatsoever, will I even think about buying a gun at any big box store unless they are selling it for a buck.

fishinwrench Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 So you can't give a gun, or ammo, as a gift anymore? It's gradually getting to the point where being a gun enthusiast is gonna inadvertently land you in prison regardless of how safe and ethical you are. I'm glad I lived most of my life in the 60's-70's-80's-90's because society and the rules we have to live by now (in the name of our own safety) sucks. Is there any evidence that all of this outrageous legislation has made the world a safer place ? Nobody I know of ever worried about being shot or attacked for no reason until AFTER all of this hysteria began. Deadstream and terryj1024 2
dprice Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Seems a gun strapped to your hip rifle in your saber and rope strapped to your saddle had a purpose ? Dprice priceheatingair.com

Believe me, if they had ever asked me to leave their store, I would NEVER ever be back for any reason at all. straw hat and Flysmallie 2 Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future.
